The Practice Of vaccination.

Vaccination is now occupying a
great part of the time of physicians
who have charge of families. One Of
the reasons why vaccination is so gen
eral here is that children who have not
been vaccinated are not received into
the public schools, and another reason
is that the insurance companies now
make successful vaccination an indis-
pensable requirement in examining ap-
plicants for insurance. I am often
asked by parents when their children
are old enough to be vaccinated and I
always advise them not to have it done
until the child is at least year old. If
done before the age the operation is
likely to result in serious disturbance
of the child's health on account of the
very delicate organism of the infant.
AS well recognized a prevention of dis
sease as vaccination has become, there
are still many people who bitterly op-
pose it, and know a number of these
personally who are in other respects
very sensible. One Of them is news
paper editor of this city, who firmly
believes he had scrofula vaccinated
into him when he was a child. In
Europe the opponents vaccination have
gone SO far as 70 form anti vaccination
societies, with the end Of discouraging
the practice; but prejudice has not yet
got so far as that in the United States.

Western Enterprise.

Englishmen are accustomed to be-
ing astonished by what they see when
they come over to this country. John
Taylor, who is a member OF par'ia-
ment and president of the temperance
national league OF England, is among
the latest to have his eyes opened to a
sense OF the wonderful world
which revolves on this side Of
the Atlantic. The other day, before
sailing for home. he said this, tor in
stance, in an interview.
In the far West my utmost ad mira
ton was drawn out by the wonderful
character of the public improvements
in the towns and cities. Why, these
are supplied with everything that
is modern. We have been accustom-
ed in England to think Of the west in
America as a half-civilized, barbarous
sort Of territory. full Of wild beasts or
half wild men. The character of the
men | came in contact with every
where was revelation to me. Then
the great confluence of railroads at
distributing centres, the food of trav-
lie, the restless push and energy of the
people. all gave me new ideas of your
country. In one town where stopped
they told me about raising capt. al for
a street car line in 48 hours. The
men in town were all cramped for
money. too, because it was distributed
in 30 many channels, but every one
gave something and SO the money was
raised. Why, doubt if there is any such
enterprise as that anywhere in Eu-
rope, or in the world except here.'

The Marquis of Waterford IN
Bishops Lawn and Cabby.

One night he was driven home IN
cab to his uncle's, the Bishop Of
Armagh's house, in Charles-street, st.
James 's-square. which, during the
absence Of that dignitary, he was &C
cupying, but, although he told the
hall porter to give the cabman half a
sovereign for little over an hours
work, the Jehu was very abusive.
The Marquis, who had turned into a
room of the hall, heard every word
that passed. Hanging in q closet was
the Bishops House OF Lords costume,
and, inspired by the demon OF mis-
chief, in a twinkling he had donned
the wig. lawn sleeves, and all, and out
he marched into the streets, where
the Jarvie was still indulging in the
choicest expressions at his command.
"Hullo, you Sir" he cried, .'is that
the language to make use Of in the
hearing OF 9 Bishop? Ifyou are not
off like a shot. you profane scoundrel,
I'll give you the rites of the church
with my clerical knuckles." Now
cabby, so far from being awed by this
threat, jumped off his box, and,
throwing off his coat, declared his
utter contempt for the whole bench of
Bishops, and his readiness to fight
them all, one after another. Making
sure OF an easy victory he rushed in,
but was stopped by blow that sent
him sprawling. After two or three
repetitlons OF this argument he was
fain to take to his heels, the Marquis
pursuing him, his gown and wig flying
in the night air, and bawling: Won't
you stay for your extra fare2' You
may be Bishop" said the fellow
rueiully, as he mounted his box, "but
you hit like tho devil. the Year

Marguerite's little hands were
quickly dashed against the panels Of
the door. Wyndham vainly strove to
hammer them in with his boots or
attract attention from without. But
the awful din around the burning
building prevented them from being
heard.
The flremen had arrived, and their
shouts mingled with the shrieks Of the
crowd assembled. The struggling
mass OF people swarming out Of the
opera house drowned all minor noises.

New Ulm weekly review., 1887-11-23

"As you please" Wyndham replied,
Duttonlng his light Oyercoat over his
dress-suit and tucking an opera hat
under his arm, while he worked on his
gloves. l..... ...- .....
"I'll stop here while then," Toy
said, dropping back into the Oriental
chair which had such charms for him.
Wyndham's rooms were eyerybody's
admiration. Fortune had smiled on
the young artist. He had sold several
pictures to the Academy, and just as
Fame placed the laurel on his brow,
his rich old uncle died, leaving him all
his money
The studio of an artist who has
plenty of money ought to be the ideal
Of elegance, and Wyndham's was all
that; yet he was not happy man.
AS he stepped into the, coupe sum-
moned to convey him to the opera, the
name of his pretty model was ringing
sadly in his ears.
Where was Marguerite =? All, if he

He was alone in the box when the
curtain rose.
The opening chorus seemed to him
to come from afar off. He saw moth
Ing of the painted singers that moved
to and fro on the boards as the argu-
ment unfolded itself, and the audience
began its ftful applause.
Wyndham saw nothing of the
daubed scenery OF the stage trap
pings; he saw his own room, and a
little slender figure, modestly draped
in soft white-M Marguerite, with eyes
like dark pansies, and mass Of shin
ing hair ripping out Of a high Greek
knot.
The opera ran on, but Wyndham
sat there, one gloved hand holding the
libretto unopened, the other resting
passively ou the box cushions.
He seemed insensible to everything ;
but there came at last full, splendid
chorus that might have reused any
one.
Wyndham looked up.
The stage was full Of men and girls.
he glanced over them, and then de
started. Leaning forward, he caught

Could that be-who was that girl in
white, with golden hair, singing with
downcast eyes, her cheeks glowing
with a carmine which art could not

Like one spell bound, he sat there
leaning breathlessly forward till the
last note Of the chorus died away.

at once. There IS time for all to

But the mad rush for the doors
could not be stopped, and almost
before the stage-manager finished
speaking, the fire. wall on the stage
was let down with a crash.
It was then that Wyndham darted
out of his box, through the flies to the
green-room.
There was a wild crush and scramble
there, too. Ballet girls and fgurantes
flew in their scanty attire towards the
marrow stage exit.
Men and women screamed and
shouted, but above the din rose Wynd-
hams voice, crying franticany
Marguerite! Marguerite !"
Up and down the narrow corridors.
where the smoke was gathering SO
dense and black that death by suffo-
cation was the first peril, Wyndham
dashed like madman.
Where is Marguerite Valleau? I"
he cried frantically.
"Never heard of her, replied one
Of the machinists. "Save yourself,
monsieur There is no time to hunt
for missing ones"
One of the chorus girls dashed by
wrapped in a great cloak.
Marguerite Valleau is in the prop
erty-room," she said.
And Wyndham dashed forward.
He did not know where the property
room was 7; there was no one to tell
him. The corridors were almost de-
serted by the flying troupe; but above
the flames swelled and leaped, belch-
ing forth sparks and smoke that
threatened to choke him. From be-
hind the fire. wall door he heard the
roar of the terrified audience, like so
many wild beasts trying to burst
their cage.
Marguerite Marguerite " he cried.
But there came no reply.
To the right and left he ran, in one
door and out another, till at last he
came upon limp, white figure lying
on the floor of the deserted room.
Marguerite - thank God /" she
cried fervently.
And catching her in his arms he
turned to retrace his steps.
His voice and touch seemed to
arouse her. She opened her eyes and
smiled ed-smiled with death staring her
in the face, for Wyndham's passage
was barred by flame. He knew not
which way to turn.
"It is thou," she said softly, in
French. II saw thee from the very
first"
Marguerite J" he whispered, hold
ing her close in his arms. "There is
no place for us to go. We cannot
escape. Are you afraid to die with
me, dearest ?"
"No,' she answered, with a fearless
smile; but her eyes met his hopeless
look with a fresh inspiration. "Let

"Come with me. l know a way.

they fled together down through trap
under the stage, and into a long, mar

exit into the Rue Mariyaux.

tainted. If you had not come, mon

He pressed her hand warmly as

obey her, but fel! back with a groan.

the knob futilely. "There is no keyr'
